For Sale A brace of Kona's for sale. - 93 Hahanna & 94 Lava Dome.

[Dean Harker]

Hi, I am sadly selling mine and my wifes Konas because we just don't get the use out of them now.

Mine is a 19" 1994 Lava Dome and my wife's is an 18" 1993 Hahhana. Both are very good condition but have the usual scratches and marks that a 30 year old bike would have.

Both are pretty original, though mine has had a new saddle, grips and chain set. It is sat on road style semi slicks at the moment but I will include the Knobbly s as well.

The wifes Hahhana is pretty much as it came from the factory apart from the seat. It even has the original Joe Murray equilibrium and propulsion tyres!

We bought these new from Bike scene in Guisborough in 1994 and have owned them since.

We will be very sad to see them go as they have been part of the family for 30 years.

I'm asking £300 for both bikes, and I will split the pair if you are only interested in one.

The bikes are at Danby, North Yorkshire.

Would you consider sending the lava dome to Penzance by courier? Thanks

Or maybe not.

Huge apologies to those people who expressed an interest in the bikes. I wasn't ignoring you, I've had some major problems with my internet accounts and only just got it sorted, so I'm only just catching up on all my emails and messages.

I would definitely post out the bikes if required but have zero experience at sending bikes by courier, I'm assuming I would have to use a purpose built box or packing case, All this would have to be at the buyers expense or course.

You can usually get a cardboard bike box from Halfords (that they received a bike from their warehouse in) then take the wheels off and pack it in there. Put a spacer between the rear forks so they don't get squashed, make sure nothing can rub. Remember bubble wrap is useless to prevent pointy things poking other things, you have to use PE foam or heavy cardboard for that, and/or pack so it won't happen. Modern bike boxes are often bigger than you would need for an older 26" bike l so check carrier size limits and customise the box with knife and hot glue gun if appropriate.
Pedals off, handlebars off and aligned vertically near forks, wheels next to bike with axles in a gap where nothings else is, maybe zip tie it all together so things can't chafe, with cardboard in-between contact points etc.
